400 yards is arming distance in TMO...I reguarly use the "down the throat shot" against enemy escorts...in stock i would fire from 600 yards but TMO escorts are skilled and turn away faster, so have been waiting shorter and shorted distances.Well i misjudged the range thinking i was at 450 yards...turns out i was at 400(confirmed by sonar) when i fire, both torpedos hit and blew the DD out of the water as i dove under it.
